What level of Chinese is spoken at the Practice Sessions?

INTERMEDIATE - ADVANCED
These sessions are designed for anyone who is not a complete Beginner and who is keen to practise their spoken skills. Students are divided into groups, normally including a Chinese native speaker. At all sessions, we try to arrange that two native Mandarin speakers attend. This can not always be guaranteed.  Learners pitch in at whatever their level. The atmosphere is informal rather than intimidating and the only requirement is to speak Mandarin, whatever your level of competence.
